Little Richard during a live performance

On May 9, 2020, Richard Wayne Penniman, better known to the world as Little Richard, passed away at the age of 87. Almost immediately following the news of his death, dozens of celebrities, including Spike Lee, Mick Jagger, and Bob Dylan, expressed their grief over losing the iconic musician.

Little Richard’s impact on not just music, but American pop culture, cannot be understated. Frequently referred to as the Architect of Rock and Roll, his flamboyant and electric musical style has influenced countless artists across multiple generations and mediums -- and that was abundantly clear as tributes poured in.

Several of Little Richard’s musical contemporaries took to Twitter to honor the icon and share the important role he played in their lives. Mick Jagger wrote that Little Richard was his “biggest inspiration” and fondly remembered the days that the Rolling Stones toured with him:

 

Bob Dylan penned several tweets, too, revealing how stark he feels his loss is:

Of course he’ll live forever. But it’s like a part of your life is gone.

 

The folk-rock legend also credited Little Richard with inspiring him to become a musician and with just being a generous and kind human being:

 
 

I just heard the news about Little Richard and I’m so grieved. He was my shining star and guiding light back when I was only a little boy. His was the original spirit that moved me to do everything I would do.

 
 
 
 

The Beach Boys’ Brian Wilson, too, was quick to pay tribute to Little Richard’s legacy and the important role he played in laying the foundation for rock and roll:

 
 

I’m very sorry to hear about Little Richard. He was there at the beginning and showed us all how to rock and roll. He was a such a great talent and will be missed. Little Richard’s music will last forever.
Love & Mercy, Brian

Elton John, too, wrote a series of tweets in which he named Little Richard as an influence, and also took the time to pay homage to the singer’s music, calling "Tutti Frutti's" opening chords “the most explosive in music history” and fondly reminiscing about their 1993 collaboration:

 
 

Without a doubt - musically, vocally and visually - he was my biggest influence. Seeing him live in my teens was the most exciting event in my life at that point. Goosebumps, electricity and joy came from every pore.

Bette Midler made a pointed note about about the lack of credit he’s often received for his work while simultaneously honoring his legacy:

 
 
 
 
 

Even The Beatles’ Paul McCartney was quick to give Little Richard credit for his impact on his life and music:

 
 

From 'Tutti Frutti' to 'Long Tall Sally' to 'Good Golly, Miss Molly' to 'Lucille', Little Richard came screaming into my life when I was a teenager. I owe a lot of what I do to Little Richard and his style; and he knew it. He would say, 'I taught Paul everything he knows'.

Little Richard’s legacy isn’t limited to those who made music with and were inspired by him, though. Filmmakers and actors also took time to honor the late musician and share how he informed their work, too. Spike Lee shared a clip from a Nike commercial he directed starring Little Richard and Michael Jordan:

 
 

Rest In Peace To One Of The True Creators Of Rock And Roll. This Is The Commercial I Directed With Little Richard And Michael Jordan, 1991.

Edgar Wright revealed that the surname on a Baby Driver costume was an homage to Little Richard:

 
 

I totally forgot I'd made a tiny tribute to Little Richard in 'Baby Driver'. At one point Baby & Deborah both wear Joe's old Vietnam jacket. Costume asked me what surname Joe should have, so I decided it should be Penniman in tribute to the Georgia born legend; Richard Penniman.

And Ava DuVernay shared a touching personal anecdote about the singer and the impact he’d had on her life:

 
 

I served soul food brunch to Little Richard every Sunday for a year while waitressing at Aunt Kizzy’s Back Porch in LA. I was a college student. He tipped me a crisp $100 bill each week on a $75 breakfast with friends. This was 30 years ago. Helped me so much. God rest his soul. https://twitter.com/nymag/status/1259139491438235648 …

 
 
 
 

Little Richard died in Nashville due to complications related to bone cancer. He is survived by his brother and son. The famed musician also leaved behind a storied legacy that is sure to be remembered for years to come. Keep it here at CinemaBlend for more updates from the world of movies and TV.

    An excellent experience from start to finish! J.Stash was very knowledgeable and responsive throughout the entire process. What's more, J.Stash was highly professional and courteous, always taking time to answer any questions that I had. I greatly recommend this seller and would definitely purchase from J.Stash again!!

    J.Stash has my full recommendation. It's rare to work with a seller who possesses and demonstrates not just integrity and quick delivery, but Ethan also went above and beyond when there were issues with the product (not his fault at all). Thank you J.Stash.

    Everything went just perfect. He makes me a very good impression both as person and as professional seller. Glad I found this site and met him virtually here. I wish I could spread the word about, but since this is not quit a good idea, I just want to share with other users here my best appreciations regarding J.Stash. Highly recommended: good communication, safe shop, fast delivery.

    Purchased a Spotify upgrade through him and used bitcoin and found the entire experience to be great. I am a total newbie to this site. And I wasn't sure what to expect. I am so amazed at how fast this was handled and how great everything went.

    In all my years of finding affordable services throughout the web, I have found no provider more responsive, more committed to excellent customer service, or more accountable to keeping to the terms of the services being obtained. When something stops working, the issues are addressed ASAP. When any questions arrive, they are responded to promptly. When situations arrive post service rendered even months down the road, J.Stash has your back to help navigate through them. Highly recommended.

    Bought a VIP access to the forum and got exactly what I wanted+more within reasonable time! Second time buying from J.Stash and my experience was exceptional, like last time. Would definitely buy from him again in there near future.
